4:17 — The Print vs Web debate is over

5:39 — The young Turks of webcomics have become the “Get off My Lawn” old folks… and some of us are very afraid.

8:20 — The Webcomics Renaissance. There’s never been a better time to be a cartoonist.

9:30 — You can do amazing things with a small, passionate audience.

10:00 — The biggest kickstart to my career
